Chapter 1842: The Swallowing Heaven Treasure Pouch Awakens
The mist was hazy, the mountain path grew harder to walk, and the heart demon incarnations would sometimes attack from outside the field of vision, leaving him very passive.
Fortunately, the refresh time was fixed, so he could basically calculate the cycle; when it was about to appear, Xiao Feng stepped forward a few paces to block the damage.
After Feng Feng Shi finished saying what she wanted to say, she returned to her silent persona, quietly being a lady.
Seeing that she didn't like to talk, Xiao Feng didn't try to strike up conversation, silently leading the way through the checkpoint.
This mountain path was too long; even at a normal person's speed, after an hour of climbing he still hadn't reached the end.
Obviously, to pass the first stage trial one must have the strength to easily defeat a heart demon incarnation with ten thousand times one's attributes within sixty seconds; otherwise, whether it's delaying time or losing blood from injury, it will trigger a snowball effect, making resistance increasingly difficult, ultimately leading to death and being sent back to the mountain base.
So, probably no more than five teams in the whole server can clear this stage.
Apart from Xiao Feng, anyone else who comes can only stop here.
In other words, this challenge was never meant for the masses; only the top of the top players have the qualification to pass.
Others can only wait until they reach the Ancestor God Realm, then take the proper road directly into the Origin Mi Jing to participate in the conflict.
"How boring, how much longer do we have to climb?" Xiao Feng felt a bit depressed.
To others it's a nerve‑wracking trial, but in his eyes it's just mindlessly throwing source needles to grind monsters.
His strength could easily pass the first heavy pass, but the process was still unavoidable; he had to keep going.
Feng Feng Shi remained silent; she only knew what the Origin Mi Jing trial symbolized, but the specific content was also unclear.
Two hours, three hours……
This mountain was extremely high; following the winding path, it felt like they had walked over twenty kilometers, yet they still hadn't arrived.
"How about you take a rest?"
At that moment, Feng Feng Shi saw Xiao Feng's utterly bored look and spoke up voluntarily.
Xiao Feng shook his head: "No need, I can handle it. Bored and idle, I've already begun to comprehend the laws."
His heart demon incarnation was too strong; Feng Feng Shi could maybe handle one, but the endless stream of refreshes would overwhelm her.
The overly bored Xiao Feng had now devoted most of his spirit to tempering his will and comprehending the laws.
With the qualities of an Innate Dao Body, his perception of the laws was strong, and his comprehension speed was extraordinary.
Moreover, after becoming a God King, his sensitivity to the laws increased considerably; now, comprehending for about an hour raises his enlightenment value by two points, which is much faster than the previous one point per whole day.
Feng Feng Shi heard this and said with some surprise: "You can walk and fight at the same time while still comprehending the Dao?"
Xiao Feng gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
"……Genius."
Feng Feng Shi couldn't help but say.
"Dual‑tasking isn't that hard, and walking doesn't require mental effort," Xiao Feng modestly said, without mentioning that he could actually manage one mind and thirty tasks.
Normal walking indeed doesn't require special attention; only when walking briskly does one need to focus.
Feng Feng Shi said: "Dual‑tasking isn't hard; controllers can do it, but splitting attention to comprehend the Dao is harder—focus is a different matter. Those who can freely divert their spirit while moving and doing many things mostly can become eternal life."
Eternal‑level……
Just like that.
Xiao Feng's goal is to become a Dao Ancestor, even surpassing it!
"That's great; I look forward to the future." He said modestly.
Then he fell silent again.
Feng Feng Shi didn't know what to say.
She actually wasn't as averse to speaking as she seemed; she just wasn't good at chatting.
All along she had enjoyed the easy rewards of clearing checkpoints without effort, feeling a bit guilty; this time she deliberately wanted to start a topic, to chat with Xiao Feng so he wouldn't be bored.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng wasn't good at chatting either, and he killed the conversation outright.
The two continued climbing the mountain in silence.
Four hours, five hours……
The mountain of the Origin Mi Jing seemed endless, as if they could never reach its end.
Xiao Feng's friends took turns sending messages asking whether, after breaking through to God King, he had encountered anything fun, since he had been silent for several hours.
Xiao Feng felt helpless.
"This place…" calling it fun certainly doesn't qualify.
But saying it's not fun isn't right either; after all it's a challenge, and if they pass, the benefits will definitely be substantial!
Swish swish swish!
Another volley of source needles, killing another heart demon incarnation.
This was already the over‑three‑hundredth.
"Why is there still no end in sight? Are we in a maze?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but complain.
Feng Feng Shi explained: "There's no maze; we're almost there. This mountain is quite high, and the first stage challenge is merely a tiny fraction of the mountain base."
"Uh… five hours have passed, and it's still negligible?" Xiao Feng wanted to complain even more.
She nodded and said: "For the Ten Thousand Li Jade Peak, it's very small."
"Ten……emmm……"
Xiao Feng was instantly speechless.
If mountain height were measured in li, it would be a bit exaggerated—just like the World Ancient Tree, it's simply not comparable to ordinary objects of the same kind.
A ten‑thousand‑li high mountain, climbed at their current ordinary‑person jogging speed, would not reach the summit even after a year.
Fortunately the first layer challenge isn't that perverse; otherwise he would have had to give up.
After climbing a while longer, unnoticed more than six hours had passed.
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Mmm... really comfortable, finally broke through~"
This voice was clear and pleasant, like a girl's.
Careful discernment showed it was his Supreme Treasure "Tian Tian Bao Nang" making the sound, though compared to the previous immature voice of a little girl, it had become slightly more mature, as if it had grown up.
【Ding~ Congratulations! Your bound Supreme Treasure "Tian Tian Bao Nang" has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and has now broken through to the ranks of 8th-rank Supreme Treasures!】
The system emitted a prompt tone.
Xiao Feng instantly rejoiced: "Little Treasure, you finally woke up! Quickly store things for me!"
"Huh? Just woke up and you want me to store things? I've actually evolved many new abilities..."
Little Treasure said plaintively.
Xiao Feng also felt aggrieved; for the past half year, the Tian Tian Bao Nang couldn't be used, so he could only use the Great Sumeru Ring to store things.
The Great Sumeru Ring is merely a God King artifact, its material too fragile; he truly fears that in battle, a careless moment could destroy it, causing the loss of its contents.
Without waiting for Little Treasure's consent, Xiao Feng took out the Tian Tian Bao Nang, opened its mouth, and then stuffed in a large heap of high-end items such as the Book of Great Salvation and the Water of Life.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"So many treasures! Big brother, which venerable did you rob?"
Looking at these rare treasures, the Tian Tian Bao Nang emitted a cheerful sound, not at all gloomy.
Xiao Feng explained: "I robbed more than one venerable; these are their relics. Oh, and this... Jian Ge doesn't like staying inside my body, so putting it in your belly is just right."
Saying that, he also took out the Heaven-Shaking Arrow and put it in as well.
While doing all this, he didn't conceal anything; even the words spoken by the Tian Tian Bao Nang behind were emitted directly as sound, which Feng Feng Shi saw and heard.
Watching the Heaven-Shaking Arrow being taken out and placed in, Feng Feng Shi widened her eyes, her dark, shiny eyes full of shock.
【First supplement a chapter, tomorrow there will be four chapters.】
